Hi, can anyone provide some advice with how to determine sex of a spotted gar? These pictures are of a gar less than a year-old. Thanks!

I don't think it's possible to tell a gar's gender just from looking at externally (especially not at such a young/small size). Also, that looks like a juvenile Florida Gar (often mislabeled as Spotted Gar, a different species).
